(And remember) when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) to make it (the news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW and the religious knowledge) known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it, but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain!
Wahai Nabi, ingatlah saat Allah mengambil janji yang dikukuhkan dari Ahl al-Kitâb agar mereka menjelaskan makna yang terkandung di dalamnya dan tidak menyembunyikan satu ayat pun kepada orang lain. Lalu mereka mencampakkan kitab itu untuk ditukar dengan kesenangan duniawi yang mereka cari.
